In November, Tennessee voters will decide whether a window allowing state income taxes will remain open or be almost permanently closed.

Amendment 3 on the Nov. 4 ballot will give voters an opportunity to decide the matter.

Voters can chose to vote “yes” or “no” to adding the following language to the Tennessee Constitution: “Legislature shall not levy, authorize or otherwise permit any state or local tax upon payroll or earned persoal income or any state or local tax measured by payroll or earned personal income.”
